Automating violence? The anti-politics of ‘smart technology’ in biodiversity conservationBackgroundBiodiversity conservation initiatives, such as the UN's post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework (30x30), increasingly use smart technologies. Despite recognizing Indigenous and local rights for successful conservation, these initiatives often neglect customary rights and uses. Smart technologies, like AI, camera traps, and drones, enable new surveillance methods. State, private, and corporate actors, including big tech and BINGOs, actively adopt these tools to enhance data access and form smart governance networks. Open access copy available |

Basin-Wide Effects of Game Harvest on Vertebrate Population Densities in Amazonian Forests: Implications for Animal-Mediated Seed DispersalBackgroundTropical forest ecosystems rely heavily on animal-plant interactions, especially seed dispersal by vertebrates. In the Amazon, widespread hunting significantly reduces populations of many vertebrate species, particularly large-bodied frugivores that play a key role in dispersing seeds of large-seeded plants. Although some species show greater sensitivity to hunting than others, the overall impact of hunting across the Amazon basin remains poorly quantified. This study aims to understand how subsistence hunting affects vertebrate populations and, in turn, the ecological services they provide—most notably seed dispersal. Open access copy available |
